Int'l Human Rights Conf. for expelling Israel from UN

Participants in the 4th international conference on human rights movement in the Arab world called for expelling Israel from the United Nations (UN) if it will not be committed to the UN Middle East related resolutions.

During the four-day event that kicked off Thursday in Cairo, the attendants called for determining a clear timetable forcing Israel to apply all UN resolutions pertaining to the conflict in the Middle East.

Hassan Asfour, Minister of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), said that Israel does not want peace with the Arabs, but rather seeks war, commending President Hosni Mubarak's statement in which he said that peace between the Arabs and Israel can never be realised as long as Ariel Sharon is in power.
